haha. swee is funny. you're forgiven btw. i also have term test next week lah.
HELLO WORLD!!
after almost 1 week deprived of com use, i was just blog hopping again, looking out for tagboards to spam. haha. anyways, i got elected into the executive commitee of students' union. woots. my name was the last on the list. but nvm, like i blogged, it keeps me humble.
at first i was relieved. but then now, most of the time, i feel alone. like the whole commitee is split into cliques and all, and im no where. but im quite determined to do good there. its actually harder to teach pple abt love without mentioning god you know that. like all the decisions or proposals you come up with, you cant exactly explain it with the god element to a commitee in a secular school. yea.
i hope i dont lose sight of what i need to do. hopefully, do more than that. eventually, make a diference. yep. anyways, thank god for the sec.3s joining us. even tho, there were only 3. suddenly i see pple doing session again. yay. i know, the reason was partly cuz of them. but i hope we keep this up. i hope we carry on with the same enthusiasism and find the real meaning to sessions and log.
hokay, gotta go. loves vonn!!

Let God be God
Studying for Econs today, feeling absolutely clueless on Monetary policies, I sat on the lounge hoping for a miracle. But then it reminded me of the last time I really studied- O'lvls. How God had a plan for me. How by just submitting every fear and doubt to his hands, willingly accepting whatever he had installed for me, he blessed me. He was my miracle.
I let God be God.
I let him be my strength. I let him be my hope. I let him be my all in all. For really, what can't we do with the power of God flowing through us.
So for our upcoming midyears (sorry Von, Brandon, Miguel and Jon), just let God be God in your life. Don't worry to much, for I'm sure he has a plan for you, a plan for me, a plan for LoG.
God Bless

are you excited about god?
i thought it was quite cool, how we should feel about our faith and all(such a familiar yet foreign feeling eh?) , spoken by wise ol poey,
and by adam,
who is god to you?
worship him for who he is.
let us make log a place we would run to when we have difficulties in faith, and a place where we constantly challenge each other to take a step up in our faith.
random quotes from today (: cheers.

don't forget god ok?
i felt quite touched by this story yea ? (: rememeber to say the rosary this month. or at least a decade for anyone and everyone (:
Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees stood and dreamed about what they wanted to become when they grew up. The first little tree looked up at the stars and said: "I want to hold treasure.? I want to be covered with gold and filled with precious stones. I'll be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world!"
The second little tree looked out at the small stream trickling by on it's way to the ocean.? "I want to be traveling mighty waters and carrying powerful kings. I'll be the strongest ship in the world!"
The third little tree looked down into the valley below where busy men and women worked in a busy town.? "I don't want to leave the mountaintop at all.? I want to grow so tall that when people stop to look at me, they'll raise their eyes to heaven and think of God. I will be the tallest tree in the world."
Years passed.? The rain came, the sun shone, and the little trees grew tall.? One day three woodcutters climbed the mountain.? The first woodcutter looked at the first tree and said, "This tree is beautiful. It is perfect for me."? With a swoop of his shining ax, the first tree fell. "Now I shall be made into a beautiful chest, I shall hold wonderful treasure!"? The first tree said.
The second woodcutter looked at the second tree and said, "This tree is strong. It is perfect for me." With a swoop of his shining ax, the second tree fell. "Now I shall sail mighty waters!" thought the second tree. "I shall be a strong ship for mighty kings!"
The third tree felt her heart sink when the last woodcutter looked her way. She stood straight and tall and pointed bravely to heaven. But the woodcutter never even looked up. "Any kind of tree will do for me." He muttered.? With a swoop of his ax the third tree fell.
The first tree rejoiced when the woodcutter brought her to a carpenter's shop.? But the carpenter fashioned the tree into a feed box for animals. The once beautiful tree was not covered with gold, nor with treasure.? She was coated with sawdust and filled with hay for hungry farm animals.
The second tree smiled when the woodcutter took her to a shipyard, but no mighty sailing ship was made that day. Instead the once strong tree was hammered and sawed into a simple fishing boat.? She was too small and too weak to sail to an ocean, or even a river; instead she was taken to a little lake.
The third tree was confused when the woodcutter cut her into strong beams and left her in a lumberyard. "What happened?" The once tall tree wondered. "All I ever wanted was to stay on the mountain top and point to God..."
Many, many days and nights passed.? The three trees nearly forgot their dreams.? But one night, golden starlight poured over the first tree as a young woman placed her newborn baby in the feed box. "I wish I could make a cradle for him." Her husband whispered.? The mother squeezed his hand and smiled as the starlight shone on the smooth and the sturdy wood. "This manger is beautiful." She said. And suddenly the first tree knew he was holding the greatest treasure in the world.
One evening a tired traveler and his friends crowded into the old fishing boat.? The traveler fell asleep as the second tree quietly sailed out into the lake. Soon a thundering and thrashing storm arose. The little tree shuddered. She knew she did not have the strength to carry so many passengers safely through with the wind and the rain. The tired man awakened.? He stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Peace."? The storm stopped as quickly as it had begun. And suddenly the second tree knew he was carrying the king of heaven and earth.
One Friday morning, the third tree was startled when her beam was yanked from the forgotten woodpile.? She flinched as she was carried through an angry jeering crowd.? She shuddered when soldiers nailed a man's hands to her. She felt ugly and harsh and cruel.? But on Sunday morning, when the sun rose and the earth trembled with joy beneath her, the third tree knew that God's love had changed everything. It had made the third tree strong.? And every time people thought of the third tree, they would think of God.? That was better than being the tallest tree in the world.
We just never know what God has planned for us do we? So when in the valleys of our lives we should keep our eyes on the mountain top.. it is closer than we think. They that wait upon the Lord; He shall renew their strength.

i thought it was quite cool, how we should feel about our faith and all(such a familiar yet foreign feeling eh?) , spoken by wise ol poey,
its like how we defend our faith when we are questioned by a non catholic.
and by adam,
our purpose is to prepare ourselves to die for our faith.though its a little extreme i think its valid and yea, gogo log!
who is god to you?
worship him for who he is.
let us make log a place we would run to when we have difficulties in faith, and a place where we constantly challenge each other to take a step up in our faith.
